It's easy to get nuclear material

The GAO was able to get a license to buy dangerous radioactive material by lying. Using a fake company, they filed for a license with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The GAO altered the license to increase the amount of material they could buy and sent letters of intent to buy to two suppliers, who agreed to ship the material.

Fortunately, the Commission halted licensing until they adjusted the process.
